Using the money raised by the parents in the annual family fun day, the preschool has purchased several new pieces of equipment. One of these being an outdoor balance scale. It allows the children to easily see the difference in the weight of objects in their environment. It gives them a better understanding of the world around them and they do this all independently with their own choice of what to weigh. It encourages them to ask questions and want to find out more. This will continue to help them discover more and more about their environment.
